Kind of amazing I escaped any ill storm effects. Nothing but a lot of wind where I live and not even much rain....

Simon:
Whay-hey i'm home! Hope NJ's ok. I saw the best documentary on the Undertones a couple of weeks ago on the BBC. Turns out JJ O'Niel really did have a cousin called Kevin. Who claims he can laugh about it now 30 years on. Honest.

In the wake of this disaster, now megan has photo's for her underwater theme park.

Magda:
Yeah I was lucky I only had it out for a day. But I have not been able to do work since I have no internet. Not as a bad as some have it.

Simon:
Well the reason I went to NJ didn't happen so I need to go back again some time in the next 6 months or so. I'll let you know and maybe we can get a Korean in. Next time I'll hire a car. Are there cab firms in NJ which just have meters or do they all hit you for fifty bucks regardless of the journey?

That's a pretty epic photo. Thanks for making the hike to Jersey for us Meghan, hope you get power soon!

Even listening from afar, WFMU has been an inspiring presence in the wake of the storm. What a great collaborative effort. If you haven't pledged yet, take the time. These are great people doing a great job.

Hello, Mr. Meghan! ;)
Hope you both are doing well and warming up!

Matt from Springfield:
Thank you SteveL. Even if you pledged in earlier this year and thought this one is just "extra", well it's an emergency Marathon at this point, so please give again.

I had "budgeted" amounts for the Marathon and October fundraisers, but chipped in some more after the Hurricane and (especially) the Record Fair cancellation.

Danne D:
I do hope they reschedule the record fair. I wasn't going to be able to make it on the original date but would make up for it big time if I can get there

Ike:
Hurrah! Power is back on in my part of the Nwk. I'm not too many towns over from the Oranges, so maybe 91.1 will be back soon. OTOH maybe Cory Booker harassed the electric co. with so many tweets that they couldn't take it any more, and put Nwk ahead of everybody else.

Meghan:
oh god, by that- then that means my mayor is just drunk and passed out- I am never getting power back!

Hi Folks,
My thoughts and prayers are with you who have been affected by all this devastation,

Great show as always Meghan! I have to run though. Many thanks!

Simon:
Pledged. My 5 year old son's verdict on the devastation having seen some images on the TV and linked them together of his own accord "Did you know? Obama sent a flood... to London... because he didn't like what they were doing there."

Caryn:
@Simon: are we sure that he created that story in his head? Because that could be a Fox News headline. Maybe he channel-surfed over there?

Simon:
@Caryn I fear it is the perfidous influence of biblical tales in preschool assembly, They just did Noah. Mr Murdoch and his evil empire get no look in in our household.

Matt from Springfield:
How does the Record Fair make money? Only from dealers paying us for the right to sell at the event, or does WFMU get a % of sales as well? I suggested a re-schedule, but it appears that venue isn't easy to book on short notice. Open-air shopping isn't nice in wintertime, but if we could have a (cheaper) event in a park or parking lot...the point is that the losses are too much to NOT do some kind of fundraiser.

Thu. 11/1/12 4:01pm
Simon:
Ike. Any big city = London. He hasn't noticed we don't have yellow cabs over here.

Thu. 11/1/12 4:04pm
Meghan:
We make money by selling spaces to vendors, we have our own tables as well.... And then of course admission too. It's so sad! I love record fair time! Since we aren't making any money, you should take the money you would have spent at the record fair and throw it to us!

Yup this set is hittin a good Homework-Soundtrack vibe on the nose.

There will be more money coming from me - I gotta consult with my bank account to figure it out though :/

Thu. 11/1/12 4:23pm
Danne D:
I ask folks, especially folks who have never pledged to put the value of the hours that you have spent listening to FMU up against to cost of, say 3 or 4 CDs. $50 gets you a nifty shirt and keeps this virtually limitless source of great music here for you.

Been super digging everything today Meghan! The reggae is chillin' me after revising and throwing another half dozen resumes today. Now, if I only had some herb....

Thu. 11/1/12 4:42pm
Meghan:
hey there! Keeping it care free and fun today! Have you all pledged? We are in NEED!!! Please help us out! This is not a test..... we got hit bad! Please help us with all that you can!! We know a lot of you may be having a hard time too, but give what you can!

"Shangri-La"--nice!
Especially nice because Gaylord and Julie *didn't* play this during their recent Kinks Konfrontation! (Limitless good songs by The Kinks you can play!)
